Bowhunter's Prayer

Recommended Posts

Seems fitting since most people's season is here or just around the corner. :cool:

0 Lord, I am a hunter

And life I seek to take,

But let me not attempt the shot

Beyond my skill to make,

For Lord they are your creatures

Given for our use,

But each one falls within your sight

They're not for our abuse,

And when I loose my arrow

Please guide it swift and true,

Or let it miss completely, Lord

That pain be not undue,

A clean kill or no kill, Lord

Such is my heart's desire,

Give me the skill to make it so

Or let me hold my fire,

And when my time upon this earth

The days they are fulfilled,

Grant that I may die at least

As clean as those I killed.

Timothy D. Cook
